It's My Life (Live In Toronto, Ontario, 2000) - Bon Jovi

It's a hard world to get a break in All the good things have been taken But girl there are ways To make certain things pay Though I'm dressed in these rags I'll wear sable some day Hear what I say I'm gonna ride the serpent No more time spent sweating rent Hear my command I'm breaking loose, it ain't no use Holding me down, stick around And baby, baby Remember, remember It's my life and I'll do what I want It's my mind and I'll think like I want Show me I'm wrong, hurt me sometime But some day I'll treat you real fine There'll be women and their fortunes Who just want to mother orphans Are you gonna cry? While I'm squeezin' them dry Takin' all I can get, no regrets When I openly lie And live on their money Believe me, honey You can have so much fun with all of that money Can you believe? I ain't no saint, no complaints So girl throw out Any doubt? And baby (Baby) Remember (Remember) It's my life and I'll do what I want It's my mind and I'll think like I want Show me I'm wrong, hurt me sometime But some day I'll treat you real fine It's my life and I'll do what I want So don't push me It's my mind and I'll think like I want It's my life It's my life and I'll do what I want And I can do what I want It's my mind and I'll think like I want It's my life and I'll do what I want I'll do what I want It's my mind and I'll think like I want It's my life and I'll do what I want(ah yeah) It's my mind and I'll think like I want It's my life and I'll do what I want

In my next life I won't cuss so much I won't ever touch that first cigarette In my next life I'll stay away from bad boys I'll listen to that voice inside of my head I won't wake up and look in the mirror Wondering what I did last night But in this life I wanna have a good time I wanna live fast, kick ass hard as anybody has 'Til they turn out the lights If I get to come back I promise you that I'm gonna walk a straighter line In my next life I'll keep my shirt on When I'm at Mardi Gras getting loose and free In my next life I won't do bodyshots I won't think I've got to try everything I'm gonna be a little angel Who gets her kicks flying right But in this life I wanna have a good time I wanna live fast, kick ass hard as anybody has 'Til they turn out the lights If I get to come back I promise you that I'm gonna walk a straighter line, in my next life In this life I wanna have a good time I wanna live fast, kick ass hard as anybody has 'Til they turn out the lights If I get to come back I promise you that I'm gonna walk a straighter line, in my next life In my next life, mmm I'll keep my shirt on when I'm at Mardi Gras, mmm hmm If I come back I won't do bodyshots In my next life

How strange, this feeling that my life's begun at last This change, can people really fall in love so fast? What's the matter with you, Cosette? Have you been too much on your own? So many things unclear So many things unknown In my life There are so many questions and answers that somehow seem wrong In my life There are times when I catch in the silence the sigh of a faraway song And it sings of a world that I long to see out of reach Just a whisper away, waiting for me! Does he know I'm alive? Do I know if he's real? Does he see what I saw? Does he feel what I feel? In my life, I'm no longer alone Now that love in my life is so near Find me now, find me here! In my life, she has burst like the music of angels The light of the sun And my life seems to stop as if something is over And something has scarcely begun Eponine, you're the friend who has brought me here thanks to you I am one with the gods in heaven is near And I soar through a world that is new, that is free Every word that he says is a dagger in me! In my life, there's been no-one like him anywhere Anywhere, where he is If he asked, I'd be his In my life There is someone who touches my life Waiting near Waiting here

I'm lying here beside you in someone else's bed Knowing what we're doing's wrong But better left unsaid Your breathing sounds like screaming It's all that I can stand His ring is on your finger But my heart is in your hands Damned if you love me Damned if you don't It's getting harder holding on, but I can't let you go Damned if you don't need me Damned if you do Oh God, I wish it wasn't me standin' in these shoes Damned, damned A door slams like a shotgun, you jump up to your feet But it's just the wind that's blowing through those secrets that we keep Made me want to want you, God knows I need to need you By the time the love is over, I'll be sleeping on the streets Damned if you love me Damned if you don't It's getting harder holding on, but I can't let you go Damned if you don't need me Damned if you do Oh God, I wish it wasn't me standin' in these shoes Damned, damned Why don't you talk to me? ('Cause I'm too blind to see) Why don't you look at me? ('Cause I'm afraid to breathe) What do you want from me? (All that I can stand) The lies are on my tongue and I can't turn back I know My soul is damned Don't worry I ain't gonna call you or hear you say my name And if you see me on the streets, don't wave, just walk away Our lives are getting twisted, let's keep our stories straight The more that I resist it, my temptation turns to fade Damned if you love me Damned if you don't It's getting harder holding on, but I can't let you go Damned if you don't need me Damned if you do God, I wish it wasn't me standin' in these shoes

My mama told me When I was younger You better speak up Don't be a number My daddy told me When it was thunder Go be the lighting Don't run for cover Who's gonna help the helpless? Sometimes we're all alone These days, we're all just looking For a place that we call home Now we can't climb over And you can't go round Build them up We'll tear them down Brick by brick Gonna watch them fall Build more bridges And tear down walls These walls Are the mountains that we climb These walls Are the great divide Brick by brick Gonna watch them fall Build more bridges Tear down walls The space between us Is getting wider We need this bar to Light the fire Show me the promise Give me some dealing There's too much hurting We need some healing Who's gonna help the helpless? Sometimes we're all alone These days, we're one step closer To that place that we call home Now we can't climb over And you can't go round Build them up We'll tear them down Brick by brick Gonna watch them fall Build more bridges And tear down walls These walls Are the mountains that we climb These walls Are the great divide Brick by brick Gonna watch them fall Build more bridges Tear down these walls I remember when the world was smaller And we both felt ten feet taller Now we can't climb over And you can't go round Build them up We'll tear them down Brick by brick Gonna watch them fall Build more bridges And tear down walls These walls Are the mountains that we climb These walls Are the great divide Brick by brick Gonna watch them fall Build more bridges Tear down these walls These walls These walls These walls Tear down these walls These walls These walls These walls Tear down walls

I was born to be of service Camp Lejeune just felt like home I had honor, I found purpose Sir, yes, sir That's what I know They sent us to a place I never heard of weeks before When you're nineteen, it ain't hard to sleep In the desert on God's floor Close your eyes, stop counting sheep You hear them bootcamp anymore We were taught to shoot our rifles Then in one, then side by side Thought we'd be made as liberators In a thousand year old fight I got this painful ringing in my ear From an IED last night But no lead light humvee war machine, could save my sargeants life Three more soldiers, six civilians Need these words to come out right God of mercy, God of light Seek your children from this life Here these words, this humble plea For I have seen the suffering And with this prayer I'm hoping That we, can be unbroken It's 18 months now, I've been stateside With this medal on my chest But there are things I can't remember And there are things I won't forget I lie awake at night with dreams of devils shouldn't see I wanna scream, but I can't breathe And Christ, I am sweating through these sheets Where's my brothers? Where's my country? Where's my how things used to be? God of mercy, God of light Seek your children from this life Here these words, this humble plea For I have seen the suffering And with this prayer I'm hoping That we, can be unbroken My service dogs done more for me Then the medication would There ain't no angel that is coming to save me But even if they could Today, 22, would die from suicide Just like yesterday, they're gone I live my life for each tomorrow So their memories will live on Once we were boys, and we were strangers Now we're brothers and we're men Someday you'll ask me, was it worth it to be of service in the end? Well, the blessing, and the curses, yeah, I'd do it all again Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh (Whoa)
